New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Veronica
Rossi's new fantasy adventure in the Rider series—Seeker .

When Daryn claimed she was seeing visions during her
sophomore year of high school, no one believed the truth. She wasn't losing her
mind, she was gaining the Sight the ability to see the future. If she just paid
attention to the visions, they'd provide her with clues and show her how she
could help people. Really help them. Daryn embraced her role as a Seeker. The
work she did was important. She saved lives.

Until Sebastian.

Sebastian was her first and worst mistake.

Since the moment she inadvertently sealed him in a dark
dimension with Samrael the last surviving demon in the Kindred guilt has
plagued her. Daryn knows Sebastian is alive and waiting for help. It's up to
her to rescue him. But now that she needs the Sight more than ever to guide
her, the visions have stopped.

Daryn must rely on her instincts, her intelligence, and on
blind faith to lead the riders who are counting on her in search of Sebastian.
As they delve into a shadowy realm where nothing is as it seems and where
Samrael is steadily amassing power, Daryn faces the ultimate test. Will she
have to become evil to destroy evil? The very fate of humankind rests in the
answer.

"The feeling of imminent danger and the constant
battles with terrifying creatures help bring this vivid story to life. However,
the depth of characterization is what will make readers connect to this small
group of teens on a mission to save humanity. Gideon and Daryn display a
powerful chemistry from their very first meeting, while the personality
conflicts between Gideon and his fellow horsemen keep this adventure both
intense and humorous."―RT Book Reviews, Top Pick!

Veronica Rossi is a best selling author of
fiction for young adults. Her debut novel, UNDER THE NEVER SKY, was
the first in a post-apocalyptic trilogy. Released in January 2012, it was
deemed one of the Best Books of Year by School Library Journal. The series
appeared in the NY Times and USA Today best seller lists and was published in
over 25 foreign markets.

Her second series for young adults will begin with RIDERS (published February
16, 2016), the story of four modern day teens who become incarnations of the
four horsemen of the apocalypse, and the prophetic girl who brings them
together.

Veronica completed her undergraduate studies at UCLA and then went on to
study fine art at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. She is a
lifelong reader and artist. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, she has lived in
Mexico, Venezuela, and all over the United States, to finally settle in
Northern California with her husband and two sons.

When not writing, Veronica enjoys reading (it’s worth repeating),
painting, and running. She does NOT like anything involving numbers, the
addition of them, subtraction of them, you name it. They terrify her. Her
obsessions generally lead to fictional works. Currently, she’s exploring New
York City during the Revolutionary War.

Don’t tread on me. (If you know what that means, then you are my people!)

What else? This is getting more fun, isn’t it?

She–okay, I–am a huge fan of the SF Giants and the Golden State Warriors. I
know, I know. Book types and sporty types shouldn’t be one in the same, but
what can I say? I’m breaking the mold. Continuing. I have an irrational love of
elephants. They make me cry, but it’s the best kind of cry. On other end of the
spectrum, I abhor the shrill squeak styrofoam makes when it’s coming out of a
box. Just typing that sentence made me want to scream. Needless to say,
Christmas is great, but also really tough on me.

It’s probably time to wrap this up. If you’re here, it’s likely because you’ve
read one of my books, or because you’re thinking about reading one of my books.
Either way, thank you. Writing fulfills me like nothing else and I feel
exceedingly fortunate to also call it my profession.

Full review....
Lila Felix has blown me away...With Lightning Kissed, she has created a unique, intriguing world that draws the reader in to the complex and dynamic storyline featuring some fascinating characters.
We begin ...

A.M. Hargrove has really outdone herself this time.
She threw me for a loop with this one and just wow!!!
I was eagerly awaiting Kade's book because he is the one brother we haven't had a lot of exposure to. He also had such a hard life...
